2012 Map of Bucklin NW

About this map

The Arkansas River winds through the southern landscape of this Kansas quadrangle, defining the local geography as it flows past the intersection of Saddle Side Rd and Bucklin Rd. The area is characterized by a strict orthogonal grid of rural roads, including storied names like Outlaw Rd and Liberty Trail Rd, reflecting the systematic land division of Ford County. North of the river, the intermittent drainage of Coon Cr cuts across the plains near Marshall Rd. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies key burial sites such as Pleasant Valley Cem in the east and Ford Cem to the southwest, providing specific coordinates for family history research. The presence of these cemeteries alongside the river valley and the expansive network of numbered and named section roads illustrates a long-standing agricultural community structured around the water's edge and the high prairie above it.
